Ethnic origin
[edit]On the column it says that the nationality is "Swiss" and then the breakdown on ethnicity.
Where do these percentages come from?
When I look at the figures from the Federal Statistical Office, the percentages are extremely suspect to me.
Is a naturalized Balkan resident of Zurich one of these 65% or does he belong to the other 6%? What about his child if the child's mother is also a naturalized citizen but originally from the UK?
Which official body in Switzerland keeps records of ethnicity?

- Switzerland does not record ethnicity, so if there are figures then they are perhaps estimates by other people. Also are you referring to the infobox? I am pretty sure you are, I am convinced that those figures are just made up as I can't find a source for it, so I will remove them. Tweedle (talk) 08:40, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
Breakdown by race?
